It is known by the generic name ondansetron. Ondansetron reduces nausea in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Grunberg, S.M.; Hesketh,-P. J. "Control of Chemotherapy-Induced emesis" N. Engl. J. Med. 1993, 329, 1790 - 96. Ondansetron is indicated for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with some types of cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and postoperative nausea and/or vomiting.

Hidrokloridna sol ondansetrona je općenito sigurna za oralno davanje pacijentu bez uzrokovanja iritacije ili drugih nepovoljnih efekata. Hidrokloridna sol prodaje se u obliku tableta i u obliku oralne otopine pod nazivom proizvoda Zofran. The hydrochloride salt of ondansetron is generally safe for oral administration to the patient without causing irritation or other adverse effects. The hydrochloride salt is sold in tablet form and as an oral solution under the product name Zofran.

Aktivni sastojak tablete je dihidrat ondansetron hidroklorida koji sadrži vezane dvije molekule vode u kristalnoj rešeci ondansetron hidroklorida. The active ingredient of the tablet is ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate, which contains two water molecules bound in the crystal lattice of ondansetron hydrochloride.

Predmetni izum odnosi fizikalna svojstva čvrstog stanja ondansetron hidroklorida. Na ova svojstva može se utjecati kontroliranjem uvjeta pod kojima se hidrokloridna sol dobiva u čvrstom stanju. Fizikalna svojstva čvrstog stanja uključuju, na primjer, protočnost samljevene krutine. Protočnost utječe na lakoću postupanja s tvari za vrijeme obrade u farmaceutski proizvod. Kada čestice spoja u prahu ne protiču lagano jedna pokraj druge, specijalist za formuliranje mora tu činjenicu uzeti u obzir prilikom razvoja formulacije u obliku tablete ili kapsule, što zahtijeva korištenje sredstava za klizanje kao što je koloidni silicijev dioksid, talk, škrob ili trobazni kalcijev fosfat. The present invention relates to the physical properties of the solid state of ondansetron hydrochloride. These properties can be influenced by controlling the conditions under which the hydrochloride salt is obtained in the solid state. Physical properties of the solid state include, for example, the flowability of the ground solid. Flowability affects the ease of handling the substance during processing into a pharmaceutical product. When the powder compound particles do not flow easily past each other, the formulator must take this fact into account when developing a tablet or capsule formulation, which requires the use of glidants such as colloidal silica, talc, starch, or tribasic calcium phosphate .

Drugo važno svojstvo čvrstog stanja farmaceutskog spoja je njegova brzina otapanja u vodenoj tekućini. Brzina otapanja aktivnog sastojka u želučanoj tekućini pacijenta može imati terapeutske posljedice s obzirom da ona postavlja gornju granicu brzine kojom oralno primijenjen aktivni sastojak može doći u krvotok pacijenta. Brzina otapanja se također uzima u obzir pri formuliranju sirupa, napitaka i drugih tekućih medikamenata. Čvrsta forma spoja može također imati utjecaja na njegovo ponašanje prilikom komprimiranja i na stabilnost prilikom skladištenja. Another important property of the solid state of a pharmaceutical compound is its rate of dissolution in an aqueous liquid. The rate of dissolution of the active ingredient in the patient's gastric fluid can have therapeutic consequences since it sets the upper limit of the rate at which the orally administered active ingredient can reach the patient's bloodstream. Dissolution rate is also taken into account when formulating syrups, drinks and other liquid medications. The solid form of the compound can also have an effect on its behavior during compression and on its stability during storage.

Na ove važne fizikalne karakteristike utječe konformacija i orijentacija molekula u jediničnoj ćeliji koja definira određenu polimorfnu formu tvari. Llacer i suradnici su postavili pretpostavku da bi se različite spektroskopke karakteristike različito pripremljenih uzoraka ondansetron slobodne baze mogle pripisati dvjema različitim konfiguracijama oko metilenskog mosta između 1,2,3,9-tetrahidrokarbazol-4-on prstena i imidazolskog prstena. Llacer, J. M.; Gallardo, V.; Parera, A. Ruiz, M. A. Intern. J. Pharm., 177, 1999, 221-229. These important physical characteristics are influenced by the conformation and orientation of the molecules in the unit cell, which defines a certain polymorphic form of the substance. Llacer et al hypothesized that the different spectroscopic characteristics of differently prepared ondansetron free base samples could be attributed to two different configurations around the methylene bridge between the 1,2,3,9-tetrahydrocarbazol-4-one ring and the imidazole ring. Llacer, J.M.; Gallardo, V.; Parera, A. Ruiz, M.A. Intern. J. Pharm., 177, 1999, 221-229.

Kristalna polimorfna forma spoja može pokazivati termičko ponašanje različito od amorfne tvari ili druge polimorfne forme. Termičko ponašanje se mjeri u laboratoriju postupcima kao što je kapilarno određivanje točke taljenja, termogravimetrijska analiza (TGA) i diferencijalna skanirajuća kalorimetrija (DSC) te se može koristiti za razlikovanje nekih polimorfnih formi od drugih. Određena polimorfna forma može također dovesti do izraženih spektroskopskih svojstava koja se mogu otkriti rendgenskom kristalografijom praškastog uzorka, 13C NMR spektrometrijom čvrstog stanja i infracrvenom spektrometrijom. Postoji niz različitih postupaka koji imaju mogućnost za proizvodnju različitih kristalnih formi spoja. Primjeri uključuju kristalizaciju, probavljanje kristala, sublimaciju i termičku obradu. A crystalline polymorphic form of a compound may exhibit thermal behavior different from an amorphous substance or other polymorphic form. Thermal behavior is measured in the laboratory by methods such as capillary melting point determination, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and can be used to distinguish some polymorphs from others. A particular polymorphic form can also lead to pronounced spectroscopic properties detectable by powder sample X-ray crystallography, solid state 13C NMR spectrometry, and infrared spectrometry. There are a number of different processes that have the ability to produce different crystalline forms of the compound. Examples include crystallization, crystal digestion, sublimation, and heat treatment.

U. S. Patent No. 4,695,578, primjer 1a, iznosi preparaciju ondansetrona alkiliranjem 2-metilimidazola pomoću 2,3,4,9-tetrahidro-N,N,N,9-tetrameti1-4-okso-1H-karbazol-3-metanaminium jodida. U ovom primjeru ondansetron je izoliran kao njegova hidrokloridna sol suspendiranjem reakcijskog produkta u smjesi apsolutnog etanola i etanolske otopine HCl, zagrijavanjem suspenzije, filtriranjem da se uklone nečistoće i taloženjem hidrokloridne soli suhim eterom. U.S. Patent No. 4,695,578, Example 1a, reports the preparation of ondansetron by alkylation of 2-methylimidazole with 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-N,N,N,9-tetramethyl-4-oxo-1H-carbazole-3-methanaminium iodide. In this example, ondansetron was isolated as its hydrochloride salt by suspending the reaction product in a mixture of absolute ethanol and ethanolic HCl, heating the suspension, filtering to remove impurities, and precipitating the hydrochloride salt with dry ether.

U primjeru 10 '578 patenta, slobodna ondansetron baza je prevedena u dihidrat hidrokloridne soli otapanjem slobodne baze u smjesi izopropanola i vode te obrađivanjem koncentriranom klorovodičnom kiselinom. Nakon filtriranja pri povišenoj temperaturi ondansetron je istjeran iz otopine dodavanjem dodatnog izopropanola i hlađenjem. Dihidrat je dobiven kao bijela kristalinična krutina prekristaliziranjem iz 6 : 10 smjese vode i izopropanola. Ondansetron hidroklorid dihidrat dobiven prema primjeru 10 '573 patenta nazvan je forma A u ovom izlaganju. Praškasti uzorci forme A proizvode rendgenski difraktogram praškastog uzorka bitno jednak difraktogramu prikazanom na slici 1. In Example 10 of the '578 patent, the ondansetron free base was converted to the dihydrate hydrochloride salt by dissolving the free base in a mixture of isopropanol and water and treating with concentrated hydrochloric acid. After filtration at elevated temperature, ondansetron was forced out of solution by adding additional isopropanol and cooling. The dihydrate was obtained as a white crystalline solid by recrystallization from a 6:10 mixture of water and isopropanol. Ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate obtained according to Example 10 of the '573 patent is referred to as Form A in this disclosure. Powder samples of Form A produce an X-ray diffraction pattern of the powder sample substantially identical to the diffraction pattern shown in Figure 1.

U. S. Patent No. 5,344/658 opisuje ondansetron koji ima određenu veličinu čestica i upotrebu takvog ondansetrona u farmaceutskoj kompoziciji. U.S. Patent No. 5,344/658 describes ondansetron having a particular particle size and the use of such ondansetron in a pharmaceutical composition.

Veličina čestica ondansetron hidroklorid dihidrata dobivenog kristalizacijom iz otapala smanjuje se njihovom desolvatacijom, na primjer zagrijavanjem, i onda izlaganjem desolvatiziranih kristala vlažnoj atmosferi. Zbirka kristala dobivenih ovim postupkom smanjivanja veličine čestica rečeno je da se sastoji isključivo od kristala veličine manje od 250 mikrona i da sadrži 80% ili više kristala veličine manje od 63 mikrona. Veličina kristala određena je analizom pomoću lijevka s mlazom zraka. The particle size of ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate obtained by crystallization from a solvent is reduced by desolvating them, for example by heating, and then exposing the desolvated crystals to a humid atmosphere. A collection of crystals obtained by this particle size reduction process is said to consist exclusively of crystals less than 250 microns in size and to contain 80% or more crystals less than 63 microns in size. Crystal size was determined by analysis using an air jet funnel.

Prema '658 patentu, ondansetron hidroklorid dehidrat koji ima istu raspodjelu veličine čestica kao rehidrirani ondansetron hidroklorid također je pružen kao dio tog izuma. S obzirom da je opisan samo jedan postupak za dehidrataciju ondansetron hidroklorida u '658 patentu, dehidrat je očito prijelazni spoj spoj koji se rehidratizira u postupku smanjivanja veličine čestica. According to the '658 patent, ondansetron hydrochloride dehydrate having the same particle size distribution as rehydrated ondansetron hydrochloride is also provided as part of that invention. Since only one process for dehydrating ondansetron hydrochloride is described in the '658 patent, the dehydrate is clearly a transition compound compound that is rehydrated in the particle size reduction process.

U. S. Patenti br. 4,695,578 i 5,344,658 su ovdje uključeni putem reference. U.S. Patent Nos. 4,695,578 and 5,344,658 are incorporated herein by reference.

Otkriće nove polimorfne forme farmaceutski korisnog spoja pruža novu priliku za poboljšanje performansnih karakteristika produkta. Ono povećava ponudu tvari koji su znanstveniku za formulacije na raspolaganju za dizajniranje, na primjer, farmaceutske forme doziranja lijeka sa ciljanim profilom otpuštanja ili nekom drugom željenom karakteristikom. Sada je otkriveno šest novih polimorfnih formi i solvata ondansetron hidroklorida. The discovery of a new polymorphic form of a pharmaceutically useful compound provides a new opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of the product. It increases the range of substances available to the formulation scientist to design, for example, a pharmaceutical dosage form of a drug with a targeted release profile or other desired characteristic. Six new polymorphic forms and solvates of ondansetron hydrochloride have now been discovered.

Detaljan opis izuma Detailed description of the invention

Ondansetron hidroklorid monohidrat Ondansetron hydrochloride monohydrate

U jednom aspektu predmetni izum pruža Ondansetron hidroklorid monohidrat. Nađeno je da monohidrat ima jednaku jediničnu ćeliju kao hidroklorid dihidrat dobiven prema postupku primjera 10 u U. S. Patentu No. 4,695,578 koji je nazvan forma A u ovom izlaganju. Dokaz da monohidrat zauzima i/ili zadržava kristalnu formu A (ovisno o postupku kojim je priređen) može se naći u rendgenskom difraktogramu dobivenom za monohidrat koji vrlo blizu odgovara difraktogramu dobivenom za uzorke forma A dihidrata. Ovo je čvrsti dokaz da su kristalne strukture približno jednake. Ondansetron hidroklorid forme A karakteriziran je jakom difrakcijom na 23.3 ± 0.2 stupnjeva dva theta i drugim difrakcijskim maksimumima na 6.1, 12.4, 17.0, 18.3, 19.2, 20.3, 20.9, 24.1, 25.8, 28.1, 30.3 ± 0.2 stupnjeva dva theta. Rendgenski difraktogram praha uzorka forma A monohidrata priložen je kao slika 1. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma A koja se izolira postupcima predmetnog izuma su tipično veliki kristali pločastog oblika. In one aspect, the present invention provides Ondansetron hydrochloride monohydrate. The monohydrate was found to have the same unit cell as the hydrochloride dihydrate obtained by the procedure of Example 10 in U.S. Patent No. 4,695,578 which is referred to as Form A in this disclosure. Evidence that the monohydrate occupies and/or retains crystalline form A (depending on the process by which it was prepared) can be found in the X-ray diffractogram obtained for the monohydrate which very closely matches the diffractogram obtained for the dihydrate form A samples. This is strong evidence that the crystal structures are approximately equal. Ondansetron hydrochloride form A is characterized by a strong diffraction at 23.3 ± 0.2 degrees two theta and other diffraction maxima at 6.1, 12.4, 17.0, 18.3, 19.2, 20.3, 20.9, 24.1, 25.8, 28.1, 30.3 ± 0.2 degrees two theta. The powder X-ray diffractogram of a sample of Form A monohydrate is attached as Figure 1. Ondansetron hydrochloride Form A which is isolated by the methods of the present invention are typically large, plate-shaped crystals.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma A može postojati u obliku prijelaznih stupnjeva hidratacije između razine monohidrata i dihidrata. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma A može se kristalizirati u ovdje iznesenim uvjetima uz varirajuće ali predvidive količine vode. Količina prisutne vode u bilo kojoj od ondansetron hidratnih formi predmetnog izuma može se odrediti na uobičajeni način kao što je Karl Fisher metoda. Ondansetron hydrochloride form A can exist in the form of intermediate hydration levels between the monohydrate and dihydrate levels. Ondansetron hydrochloride form A can be crystallized under the conditions set forth herein with varying but predictable amounts of water. The amount of water present in any of the ondansetron hydrate forms of the present invention can be determined by a conventional method such as the Karl Fisher method.

Izlaganje svježe priređenih uzoraka ondansetron hidroklorid forma A monohidrata atmosferi s kontroliranom vlažnosti, kao što je 60% relativna vlažnost ili više, uzrokuje da se količina vode u kristalima ubrzano povećava dok se ne postigne razina dihidratne količine vode od oko 10.0%. Upijanje vode obično se događa unutar nekoliko sati ili najviše preko noći. Lakoća dehidratacije ondansetron hidroklorid forma A dihidrata do nižeg stanja hidratacije i sposobnosti da se rehidratizira u vlažnoj atmosferi do razine dihidrata pokazuje da je najmanje jedna od molekula vode kristalizacije u ondansetron hidroklorid dihidratu labilna. Exposure of freshly prepared samples of ondansetron hydrochloride form A monohydrate to a controlled humidity atmosphere, such as 60% relative humidity or higher, causes the amount of water in the crystals to increase rapidly until a dihydrate water level of about 10.0% is reached. Water absorption usually occurs within a few hours or overnight at most. The ease of dehydration of ondansetron hydrochloride form A dihydrate to a lower hydration state and the ability to rehydrate in a humid atmosphere to the dihydrate level indicates that at least one of the molecules of water of crystallization in ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate is labile.

Nakon sušenja ondansetron hidroklorid forma A dihidrata u vakuumskoj peći pri 90°C 12 sati, ondansetron forma A monohidrat može se dehidrirati do bitno bezvodnog stanja sa sadržajem vode od 1.3% ili manje. Ondansetron forma A s takvim niskim sadržajem vode također zadržava kristalnu strukturu ondansetron hidroklorid forme A i stoga je karakteriziran rendgenskim difraktorgramom praha ondansetron hidroklorid forme A. Visoko dehidratizirana ondansetron hidroklorid forma A rehidratizira se nakon izlaganja 50% do 60% relativnoj vlažnosti i pretvara se u ondansetron hidroklorid dihidrat (10.0% vode). After drying ondansetron hydrochloride form A dihydrate in a vacuum oven at 90°C for 12 hours, ondansetron form A monohydrate can be dehydrated to an essentially anhydrous state with a water content of 1.3% or less. Ondansetron Form A with such a low water content also retains the crystalline structure of Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form A and is therefore characterized by the X-ray diffractogram of Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form A powder. Highly dehydrated Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form A rehydrates upon exposure to 50% to 60% relative humidity and is converted to ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate (10.0% water).

Preparacija ondansetron hidroklorid forma A monohidrata iz ondansetron hidroklorid forma A dihidrata Preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form A monohydrate from ondansetron hydrochloride form A dihydrate

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma A monohidrat može se prirediti iz ondansetron hidroklorid forma A dihidrata. Dihidrat se suspendira ili razmulji u tekućem mediju vodene otopine etanola. Preferirani tekući mediji su smjese od oko 50% etanol/voda do oko 96% etanol/voda. Nema direktne povezanosti između razine hidratacije dobivene forme A i udjela vode u tekućem mediju. Smjese vode i etanola unutar raspona daju formu A s mjerenim sadržajem vode u skladu s računatim sadržajem vode ondansetron hidroklorid monohidrata od 5.18 %, kao što se može vidjeti, na primjer, uspoređivanjem primjera 14 i 15 dolje. Ondansetron hydrochloride form A monohydrate can be prepared from ondansetron hydrochloride form A dihydrate. The dihydrate is suspended or slurried in a liquid medium of an aqueous ethanol solution. Preferred liquid media are mixtures of about 50% ethanol/water to about 96% ethanol/water. There is no direct relationship between the level of hydration of the obtained form A and the proportion of water in the liquid medium. Mixtures of water and ethanol within the range give Form A with a measured water content consistent with the calculated ondansetron hydrochloride monohydrate water content of 5.18%, as can be seen, for example, by comparing Examples 14 and 15 below.

Suspenzija ili muljevita smjesa forme A dihidrata se preferirano zagrijava uz refluks da se ubrza djelomična dehidratacija do koje dolazi u ovim etanol i voda smjesama. Forma A monohidrat može se pogodno odvojiti od tekućeg medija hlađenjem i filtriranjem suspenzije. The suspension or slurry of Form A dihydrate is preferably heated at reflux to accelerate the partial dehydration that occurs in these ethanol and water mixtures. Form A monohydrate can conveniently be separated from the liquid medium by cooling and filtering the suspension.

Postupak je dalje ilustriran primjerima 12 - 19. The procedure is further illustrated by examples 12 - 19.

Primjeri 18 i 19 pokazuju da se monohidrat također može dobiti primjenom izvjesnih nevodenih tekućih medija, određenije etanol/izopropanol i etanol/toluen smjesa. Examples 18 and 19 show that the monohydrate can also be obtained using certain non-aqueous liquid media, more specifically ethanol/isopropanol and ethanol/toluene mixtures.

Međutim, takve smjese općenito uzrokuju kristaliziranje ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u stanju preijelazne hidratiziranosti između monohidrata i dihidrata, kako je prikazano primjerima 20 - 25. Ondansetron hidroklorid sa sadržajem vode između 6 i 9 %, prijelaz između monohidrata (5.18%) i dihidrata (9.85%) se reproducibilno dobiva prema postupcima primjera 20 - 25. However, such mixtures generally cause ondansetron hydrochloride Form A to crystallize in a transition state of hydration between monohydrate and dihydrate, as shown in Examples 20 - 25. Ondansetron hydrochloride with water content between 6 and 9%, transition between monohydrate (5.18%) and dihydrate (9.85 %) is reproducibly obtained according to the procedures of examples 20 - 25.

Preparacija ondansetron hidroklorid forme A iz ondansetron baze Preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form A from ondansetron base

Poznati postupci za pripremu ondansetron hidroklorid forme A koristili su, kao otapalo, smjese vode i izopropanola i voda/izopropanol/octena kiselina za stvaranje ondansetron hidrokloridne soli iz slobodne baze. Ovi sistemi otapala dosljedno uzrokuju da ondansetron hidroklorid kristalitira kao dihidrat. Known procedures for the preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form A used, as solvent, mixtures of water and isopropanol and water/isopropanol/acetic acid to form the ondansetron hydrochloride salt from the free base. These solvent systems consistently cause ondansetron hydrochloride to crystallize as the dihydrate.

Predmetni izum pruža novi postupak za pripremu ondansetron hidroklorid forme A iz ondansetron slobodne baze. U ovom novom postupku slobodna baza se suspendira u apsolutnom etanolu i obradi laganim suviškom bezvodnog HCl. HCl može se dobiti ili kao plin ili otopljen u organskom otapalu kao što je apsolutni etanol, toluen, metil etil keton, izopropanol ili eter. Suspenzija se preferirano zagrijava uz refluks da se ubrza otapanje slobodne baze i njeno prevođenje u HCl sol. Forma A dihidrat se prikladno dobiva hlađenjem otopine da se potakne kristalizacija i filtriranjem da se odvoji otapalo i bilo koje nečistoće. Postupak je dalje prikazan primjerima 1 - 11. The present invention provides a novel process for the preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form A from ondansetron free base. In this new procedure, the free base is suspended in absolute ethanol and treated with a slight excess of anhydrous HCl. HCl can be obtained either as a gas or dissolved in an organic solvent such as absolute ethanol, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, isopropanol or ether. The suspension is preferably heated at reflux to accelerate the dissolution of the free base and its conversion to the HCl salt. Form A dihydrate is conveniently obtained by cooling the solution to promote crystallization and filtering to remove the solvent and any impurities. The procedure is further illustrated by examples 1 - 11.

Mi smo također našli da korištenjem kloriranog otapala kao što je kloroform, uz mogućnost smjese s vodom, možemo dobiti ondansetron hidroklorid kao monohidrat, kako je dalje prikazano u primjerima 8 - 11. We have also found that using a chlorinated solvent such as chloroform, with the possibility of mixing with water, we can obtain ondansetron hydrochloride as the monohydrate, as further shown in Examples 8-11.

Predmetni izum pruža novu formu ondansetron hidroklorida označenu bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B i postupke za pripremu bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B. Bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B može se preparirati polaženjem od ondansetron hidroklorid forma A ili polaženjem od ondansetron baze. The present invention provides a new form of ondansetron hydrochloride designated anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B and methods for the preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B. Anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B can be prepared starting from ondansetron hydrochloride form A or starting from an ondansetron base.

Bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B karakterizirana je jakim maksimumom rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka na 11.9 ± 0.2 stupnjeva dva theta i maksimumima rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka na 10.5, 13.0, 13.5, 15.1, 20.9, 22.7, 24.0, 25.7 ± 0.2 stupnjeva dva theta. Rendgenski digraktogram uzorka forme B priložen je kao slika 2. U našim rukama bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B javlja se kao fini prašak primarno sastavljen od malih iglica i štapića. Anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B is characterized by a strong X-ray diffraction peak of the powder sample at 11.9 ± 0.2 degrees two theta and peaks of X-ray diffraction of the powder sample at 10.5, 13.0, 13.5, 15.1, 20.9, 22.7, 24.0, 25.7 ± 0.2 degrees two theta. An X-ray digractogram of a sample of Form B is attached as Figure 2. In our hands, anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride Form B appears as a fine powder primarily composed of small needles and rods.

Bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B predmetnog izuma upija do 2% vlage kada se izloži 60% relativnoj vlažnosti. Apsorbirana voda u kristalima nije unutar kristalne strukture vodene forme kao hidratna voda. Odsutnost hidratne vode unutar kristalne strukture može se pratiti uobičajenim postupcima, kao što je PXRD. Korištenjem tehnika rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka pokazana je odsutnost hidratne vode uslijed odsutnosti ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u uzorku. Prisutnost forme A je pokazana pojavom jakog maksimuma na 12.3° 29 u rendgenskom difraktogramu uzorka. Anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B of the present invention absorbs up to 2% moisture when exposed to 60% relative humidity. The absorbed water in the crystals is not within the crystal structure of the aqueous form as hydrate water. The absence of hydrate water within the crystal structure can be monitored by conventional methods, such as PXRD. The use of X-ray diffraction techniques of the powder sample showed the absence of hydrated water due to the absence of ondansetron hydrochloride form A in the sample. The presence of form A is shown by the appearance of a strong maximum at 12.3° 29 in the X-ray diffractogram of the sample.

Predmetni izum također pruža preparaciju malih čestica ondansetron hidroklorid forme B što ima prednost da ne zahtijeva skupe postupke koji troše veliku količinu energije, kao što je masovno mljevenje, ili složene procese dehidratacije i rehidratacije kako bi se postiglo željeno smanjivanje veličine čestica. Raspodjela veličine čestica ondansetron hidroklorid forme B, koji je karakteriziran time da ima male čestice oblika iglica/štapić uz maksimalnu veličinu do 200 mikrona, tipično s d(0.9) do 140 mikrona, d(0.5) do 30 mikrona, d(0.1) do 2 mikrona. Preferirano, vrijednost d(0.9) je do 40 mikrona. The present invention also provides the preparation of small particles of ondansetron hydrochloride form B which has the advantage of not requiring expensive, energy-intensive processes, such as mass milling, or complex dehydration and rehydration processes to achieve the desired particle size reduction.

Preparacija bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B iz ondansetron hidroklorid forme A Preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B from ondansetron hydrochloride form A

Postupcima predmetnog izuma bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B može se prirediti iz ondansetron hidroklorid forme A obrađivanjem suhim C1-C4 alkoholnim otapalom kao etanol, izopropanol i 1-butanol, ili ketonsko.otapalo kao aceton i metil etil keton ("MEK"). Kada se predmetni postupak za pripremu bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B provodi na sobnoj temperaturi, preferirano otapalo je aceton, metil etil keton, apsolutni etanol ili smjesa izopropanola i etanola (preferirano apsolutni etanol se također koristi u smjesi). Kako se koristi u ovom izlaganju apsolutni etanol se odnosi na etanol koji ne sadrži više od 0.5% vode. Preferirano izopropanol i etanol smjesa ima omjer 40 : 65 (v/v) izopropanola prema etanolu. Kada se predmetni postupak za pripremu bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B provodi na povišenim temperaturama, preferirano otapalo je 1-butanol i smjesa se zagrijava uz refluks. By the processes of the present invention, anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B can be prepared from ondansetron hydrochloride form A by treatment with a dry C1-C4 alcoholic solvent such as ethanol, isopropanol and 1-butanol, or a ketone solvent such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone ("MEK"). When the subject process for the preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B is carried out at room temperature, the preferred solvent is acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, absolute ethanol or a mixture of isopropanol and ethanol (preferably absolute ethanol is also used in the mixture). As used in this disclosure, absolute ethanol refers to ethanol containing no more than 0.5% water. Preferably, the isopropanol and ethanol mixture has a ratio of 40:65 (v/v) isopropanol to ethanol. When the subject process for the preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B is carried out at elevated temperatures, the preferred solvent is 1-butanol and the mixture is heated to reflux.

Postupak predmetnog izuma pruža iznenađujući rezultat da se ondansetron hidroklorid forma A može pretvoriti u bezvodnu ondansetron hidroklorid formu B razmuljivanjem ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u apsolutnom etanolu, preferirano na sobnoj temperaturi (to znači oko 20°C), omogućava jednostavnu i brzu transformaciju ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u bezvodnu ondansetron hidroklorid formu B. Transformacija ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u bezvodnu ondansetron hidroklorid formu B završi se kroz između nekoliko sati do dva dana i više, ovisno o različitim parametrima kao veličina čestica, relativna količina otapala, temperatura. Tipično, potpuno konverzija zahtijeva između 24 i 48 sati pri sobnoj temperaturi. Reakcija se treba provoditi u suhim uvjetima. Provođenje reakcije ili u suhom dušiku ili atmosferi argona ili u tikvici koja ima vezu sa zrakom kroz cjevčicu za sušenje sa CaCl2 pruža zadovoljavajuće suhe uvjete. The process of the present invention provides the surprising result that ondansetron hydrochloride form A can be converted into anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B by emulsifying ondansetron hydrochloride form A in absolute ethanol, preferably at room temperature (that means about 20°C), enabling a simple and rapid transformation of ondansetron hydrochloride form A to anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B. The transformation of ondansetron hydrochloride form A to anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B is completed within a few hours to two days or more, depending on various parameters such as particle size, relative amount of solvent, temperature. Typically, complete conversion requires between 24 and 48 hours at room temperature. The reaction should be carried out under dry conditions. Conducting the reaction either in a dry nitrogen or argon atmosphere or in a flask connected to air through a drying tube with CaCl2 provides satisfactorily dry conditions.

Bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B može se također preparirati propuštanjem plinovitog HCl kroz otopinu ondansetron baze u toluenu uz refluks. Anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B can also be prepared by passing HCl gas through a solution of ondansetron base in toluene under reflux.

Preparacija bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B iz ondansetron baze Preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B from ondansetron base

Predmetni izum također pruža postupak za pripremu bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B iz ondansetron slobodne baze. Predmetnim postupcima ondansetron baza reagira sa suhim HCl u suhom organskom otapalu. HCl može se dobiti ili kao plin ili otopljen u suhom organskom otapalu kao što je apsolutni etanol, toluen, metil etil keton, izopropanol ili eter. Nakon završetka reakcije, bezvodna ondansetron hidroklorid forma B može se izolirati filtriranjem. Forma B kristali imaju karakterističan oblik iglica. The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B from ondansetron free base. In the subject procedures, the ondansetron base reacts with dry HCl in a dry organic solvent. HCl can be obtained either as a gas or dissolved in a dry organic solvent such as absolute ethanol, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, isopropanol or ether. After completion of the reaction, anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B can be isolated by filtration. Form B crystals have a characteristic needle shape.

Preparacija bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B predmetnim postupkom omogućena je činjenicom da su otapalo (etanol) i otopina HCl/etanol suhi. Tako, na ovaj način forma A ne nastaje za vrijeme reakcije. Reakcija se može provoditi pri sobnoj temperaturi (rt) ili uz refluks. Pri sobnoj temperaturi reakcija je heterogena i dovodi do bezvodne ondansetron hidroklorid forme B s raspodjelom male veličine čestica. Kada se provodi uz refluks, reakcija je homogena i može se tako obraditi aktivnim ugljenom da se dobije čistija sol. Nakon vrućeg filtriranja da se ukloni ugljen, ondansetron hidroklorid forma B može se dobiti hlađenjem filtrata do sobne temperature i sakupljanjem istaložene forme B filtriranjem. Raspodjela veličine čestica može se jednostavno kontrolirati mijenjanjem parametara kristalizacije, uključivši kontrolirano hlađenje. The preparation of anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B by the method in question is made possible by the fact that the solvent (ethanol) and the HCl/ethanol solution are dry. Thus, in this way form A is not formed during the reaction. The reaction can be carried out at room temperature (rt) or under reflux. At room temperature, the reaction is heterogeneous and leads to anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B with a small particle size distribution. When carried out under reflux, the reaction is homogeneous and can thus be treated with activated carbon to obtain a purer salt. After hot filtration to remove carbon, ondansetron hydrochloride form B can be obtained by cooling the filtrate to room temperature and collecting the precipitated form B by filtration. The particle size distribution can be easily controlled by changing the crystallization parameters, including controlled cooling.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma C Ondansetron hydrochloride form C

Predmetni izum pruža novu formu o.ndansetron hidroklorida označenu ondansetron hidroklorid forma C i postupke za pripremu ondansetron hidroklorid forme C. Ova forma karakterizirana je jakim maksimumima rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka na 6.3, 24.4, stupnjeva dva theta i drugim tipičnim maksimumima na 9.2, 10.2, 13.1, 16.9 stupnjeva dva theta. Rendgenski difraktogram uzorka forme C priložen je kao slika 3. Ova forma može se dobiti otapanjem ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u etanolu uz refluks nakon dodavanja HCl (plinovitog ili u otopini). Nakon hlađenja otopine, talog se filtrira i matičnica se upari pod sniženim pritiskom. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma C nastaje iz ove krutine dobivene nakon uparavanja. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma C je higroskopna i može sadržavati do 10% vode. The present invention provides a new form of ondansetron hydrochloride designated ondansetron hydrochloride form C and methods for the preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form C. This form is characterized by strong powder X-ray diffraction peaks at 6.3, 24.4, degrees two theta and other typical peaks at 9.2, 10.2, 13.1, 16.9 degrees two theta. An X-ray diffraction pattern of a sample of Form C is attached as Figure 3. This form can be obtained by dissolving ondansetron hydrochloride Form A in ethanol at reflux after addition of HCl (gaseous or in solution). After cooling the solution, the precipitate is filtered and the mother liquor is evaporated under reduced pressure. Ondansetron hydrochloride form C is formed from this solid obtained after evaporation. Ondansetron hydrochloride form C is hygroscopic and may contain up to 10% water.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma D Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form D

Predmetni izum pruža novu formu ondansetron hidroklorida označenu ondansetron hidroklorid forma D. Ova forma može se dobiti kao smjesa s ondansetron hidroklorid formom C. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma D se dobiva dispergiranjem ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u oko l mililitru ksilena po gramu forme A, onda taljenjem disperzije na temperaturi iznad 150°C, preferirano iznad 180°C i ulijevanjem taline u hladni alkohol, preferirano oko 10 mililitara etanola po gramu disperzije. Alkohol može biti na temperaturi ispod sobne temperature do sobne temperature, preferirano na oko 10°C. The present invention provides a new form of ondansetron hydrochloride designated ondansetron hydrochloride form D. This form can be obtained as a mixture with ondansetron hydrochloride form C. Ondansetron hydrochloride form D is obtained by dispersing ondansetron hydrochloride form A in about 1 milliliter of xylene per gram of form A, then melting the dispersion at a temperature above 150°C, preferably above 180°C and by pouring the melt into cold alcohol, preferably about 10 milliliters of ethanol per gram of dispersion. The alcohol can be at a temperature below room temperature to room temperature, preferably around 10°C.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma D karakterizirana je maksimumima rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka na 8.3, 14.0, 14.8, 25.5 stupnjeva dva theta. Ondansetron hydrochloride form D is characterized by X-ray diffraction maxima of the powder sample at 8.3, 14.0, 14.8, 25.5 degrees two theta.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma E Ondansetron hydrochloride form E

Predmetni izum pruža novu formu Ondansetron hidroklorida označenu ondansetron hidroklorid forma E i postupke za pripremu ondansetron hidroklorid forme E. The subject invention provides a new form of Ondansetron Hydrochloride designated as Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form E and processes for the preparation of Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form E.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma E karakterizirana je jakim maksimumom rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka na 7.4 stupnjeva dva theta i drugim tipičnim maksimumima na 6.3, 10.5, 11.2, 12.3, 13.0, 14.5, 15.9, 17.0, 20.1, 20.8, 24.5, 26.2, 27.2 stupnjeva dva theta. Rendgenski difraktogram uzorka forme E priložen je kao slika 4. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma E sadrži 1.8% -2.0 % vode, kako je mjereno Karl Fisher metodom. Ova stehiometrije ka vrijednost odgovara 1/3 molekule vode po molekuli ondansetron hidroklorida (teoretska vrijednost: 1.8%). Ondansetron hydrochloride form E is characterized by a strong X-ray diffraction maximum of the powder sample at 7.4 degrees two theta and other typical maxima at 6.3, 10.5, 11.2, 12.3, 13.0, 14.5, 15.9, 17.0, 20.1, 20.8, 24.5, 26.2, 27.2 degrees two theta. . An X-ray diffractogram of a sample of Form E is attached as Figure 4. Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form E contains 1.8%-2.0% water, as measured by the Karl Fisher method. This stoichiometry ka value corresponds to 1/3 molecule of water per molecule of ondansetron hydrochloride (theoretical value: 1.8%).

Iznenađujuće je otkriveno da obrađivanje ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u izopropanolu dovodi do stvaranja ondansetron hidroklorid forme E. Ondansetron hidroklorid, preferirano forma A dihidrat, može se obraditi u izopropanolu pri sobnoj temperaturi ili pri temperaturi refluksa da se dobije ondansetron hidroklorid forma E. It has surprisingly been found that treatment of ondansetron hydrochloride form A in isopropanol leads to the formation of ondansetron hydrochloride form E. Ondansetron hydrochloride, preferably form A dihydrate, can be treated in isopropanol at room temperature or at reflux temperature to give ondansetron hydrochloride form E.

Nađeno je da ondansetron hidroklorid forme E koji je dobiven obrađivanjem ondansetron hidroklorid forme A u izopropanolu uključuje količine izopropanola od oko 8 - 10 % ili 14 %. Tipična TGA krivulja ondansetron hidroklorid forme E (slika 5) pokazuje gubitak težine od oko 2 % do oko 120°C i oštri gubitak težine na oko 150°C od 9 % ili 14 %. Prema stehiometrijskom računu, ondansetron hidroklorid forma E može postojati kao monosolvat izopropanola ili hemisolvat izopropanola (očekivana stehiometrijska vrijednost izopropanol hemisolvata je 8.4% i očekivana stehiometrijska vrijednost izopropanol monosolvata je 15.4%). Također je nađeno da ondansetron hidroklorid propanolat forma E, kada je izložena relativnoj vlažnosti do 60% kroz jedan tjedan može sadržavati do 10% vode bez promjene kristalne strukture. Ondansetron hydrochloride form E which was obtained by treating ondansetron hydrochloride form A in isopropanol was found to include amounts of isopropanol of about 8-10% or 14%. A typical TGA curve of ondansetron hydrochloride Form E (Figure 5) shows a weight loss of about 2% up to about 120°C and a sharp weight loss at about 150°C of 9% or 14%. According to stoichiometric calculation, ondansetron hydrochloride form E can exist as isopropanol monosolvate or isopropanol hemisolvate (expected stoichiometric value of isopropanol hemisolvate is 8.4% and expected stoichiometric value of isopropanol monosolvate is 15.4%). It was also found that ondansetron hydrochloride propanolate form E, when exposed to relative humidity up to 60% for one week, can contain up to 10% water without changing the crystal structure.

Predmetni izum pruža novu formu ondansetron hidroklorida označenu ondansetron hidroklorid forma H i postupke za pripremu ondansetron hidroklorid forme H. Postupcima predmetnog izuma ondansetron hidroklorid forma H može se dobiti otapanjem ondansetron baze u etanolu, preferirano apsolutnom etanolu, dodavanjem količine otopine etanol/kloridna kiselina dovoljne da dobavi 1,5 ekvivalenata HCl i taloženjem ondansetron hidroklorid forme H dodavanjem t-butil metil etera ili dietil etera (preferirano suhog i svježe destiliranog) da se omogući taloženje (l g/86 ml). Otopina ondansetron baze u apsolutnom etanolu može se zagrijati iznad sobne temperature, preferirano na oko 45°C. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma H može se također dobiti kao smjesa s bezvodnom ondansetron hidroklorid formom B kada se koristi etil eter kao otapalo. Izoliorana ondansetron hidroklorid forma H imala je saržaj oko 2% vode. The present invention provides a new form of ondansetron hydrochloride designated ondansetron hydrochloride form H and processes for the preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form H. By the processes of the present invention, ondansetron hydrochloride form H can be obtained by dissolving ondansetron base in ethanol, preferably absolute ethanol, adding an amount of ethanol/hydrochloric acid solution sufficient to add 1.5 equivalents of HCl and precipitate ondansetron hydrochloride Form H by adding t-butyl methyl ether or diethyl ether (preferably dry and freshly distilled) to allow precipitation (1 g/86 ml). A solution of ondansetron base in absolute ethanol can be warmed above room temperature, preferably to about 45°C. Ondansetron hydrochloride form H can also be obtained as a mixture with anhydrous ondansetron hydrochloride form B when ethyl ether is used as the solvent. Isolated ondansetron hydrochloride form H had a composition of about 2% water.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma H karakterizirana je jedinstvenim maksimumima rendgenske difrakcije praškastog uzorka na 7.8, 14.0, 14.8, 24.7, 25.6 stupnjeva dva theta. Rendgenski difraktogram uzorka forme H priložen je kao slika 6. Ondansetron hydrochloride form H is characterized by unique X-ray diffraction maxima of the powder sample at 7.8, 14.0, 14.8, 24.7, 25.6 degrees two theta. The X-ray diffractogram of the Form H sample is attached as Figure 6.

Ondansetron hidroklorid forma I Ondansetron Hydrochloride Form I

Predmetni izum pruža novu formu ondansetron hidroklorida označenu ondansetron hidroklorid forma I i postupke -za pripremu ondansetron hidroklorid forme I. Ondansetron hidroklorid, ili forma A ili bezvodni anhidrous, može se obrađivati u parama metanola kroz period od nekoliko dana do dva tjedna da se dobije ondansetron hidroklorid forma I. Kako bi se postigla konverzija većine uzorka u formu I, potreban je period od dva tjedna. Ondansetron hidroklorid forma I sadrži 3.1% vode, kako je mjereno Karl Fisher metodom. Ova stehiometrijska vrijednost odgovara 1/2 molekule vode po molekuli ondansetron hidroklorida (teoretska vrijednost: 2.5%). Ondansetron hidroklorid forma I sadrži metanol do 10% što grubo odgovara monometanolatnoj stehiometrijskoj vrijednosti od oko 9%. The present invention provides a new form of ondansetron hydrochloride designated as ondansetron hydrochloride form I and processes for the preparation of ondansetron hydrochloride form I. Ondansetron hydrochloride, either form A or anhydrous anhydrous, can be processed in methanol vapors for a period of several days to two weeks to obtain ondansetron hydrochloride form I. In order to achieve the conversion of the majority of the sample to form I, a period of two weeks is required. Ondansetron hydrochloride form I contains 3.1% water, as measured by the Karl Fisher method.

PRIMJERI EXAMPLES

Rendgenski difraktogrami praškastog uzorka dobiveni su postupcima poznatima u struci primjenom Philips rengenskog difraktometra za prah Phillips Generator TW1830, Goniometer model POW3020, MPD Control POW3710, X-Ray cijev s Ću anodnom metom, Monochromator proporcionalni brojač, brzina snimanja 2° u minuti. X-ray diffractograms of the powder sample were obtained by methods known in the field using Philips X-ray powder diffractometer Phillips Generator TW1830, Goniometer model POW3020, MPD Control POW3710, X-Ray tube with Cu anode target, Monochromator proportional counter, recording speed 2° per minute.

Raspodjela veličine čestica dobivena je postupcima poznatima u struci laserskom difrakcijskom tehnikom; primjenom Malvern Laser Diffraction Mastersizer S, opremljenog ćelijom malog volumena od 50 - 80 ml kao protočnom ćelijom. Uzorci su dispergirani pomoću silicijske tekućine F-10 kao razrjeđivača i dodavanjem malog alikvota uzorka u 5 ml razrjeđivača unutar staklene boce od 10 ml. Suspenzija je miješana pomoću vira 5 sekundi i onda obrađivana ultrazvukom u otvorenoj boci 2 i pola minute da se razbiju tvrdi agregati. Suspenzija je dokapana u protočnu ćeliju ispunjenu razrjeđivačem dok nije postignuto potrebno zamućenje (15-28%) . Mjerenje je započeto nakon jedne minute kruženja na oko 1700 - 1800 rpm (okretaja u minuti) brzine pumpe. The particle size distribution was obtained by procedures known in the art using the laser diffraction technique; using the Malvern Laser Diffraction Mastersizer S, equipped with a small volume cell of 50 - 80 ml as a flow cell. Samples were dispersed using silica fluid F-10 as diluent and adding a small aliquot of the sample to 5 ml of diluent inside a 10 ml glass bottle. The suspension was vortexed for 5 seconds and then sonicated in an open bottle for 2.5 minutes to break up hard aggregates. The suspension was dripped into a flow cell filled with diluent until the required turbidity (15-28%) was achieved. The measurement was started after one minute of circulation at about 1700 - 1800 rpm (revolutions per minute) pump speed.

Kao što je poznato u struci, eksperimentalni uvjeti kao obrada ultrazvukom, vir ili bilo koji drugi disperzijski medij su namijenjene da dispergiraju čestice i razbiju agregate koji mogu biti prisutni u tvari kao rezultat lijepljenja čestica za vrijeme sušenja, na primjer, s namjerom da se dobije precizna raspodjela veličine čestica primarnih čestica. Stoga, primijenjeni eksperimentalni uvjeti mogu varirati prema izgledu uzoraka i prisutnosti agregata. As is known in the art, experimental conditions such as sonication, vortexing or any other dispersion medium are intended to disperse particles and break up aggregates that may be present in the substance as a result of particle sticking during drying, for example, with the intention of obtaining precise particle size distribution of primary particles. Therefore, the applied experimental conditions may vary according to the appearance of the samples and the presence of aggregates.
